Predicting breathing tube removal success in newborns
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at newborns on breathing machines to find signs that predict whether they can safely come off the machine. It aims to help doctors make better decisions about when to remove the breathing tube.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born between 28 and 44 weeks of pregnancy
- Your baby has been on a breathing machine for at least 48 hours
- The doctor plans to remove the breathing tube soon
- Your baby's heart and blood pressure are stable
- Your baby does not have major birth defects, muscle or nerve disorders, chest problems, or certain metabolic conditions

This study looks at the best time to remove the breathing tube from premature babies born before 32 weeks. It uses a special tube that measures the baby's breathing effort to guide the decision, which may help them transition to breathing without support.
This study tests whether combining three monitoring tools can help doctors predict if it's safe to remove your breathing tube after surgery. The tools measure your breathing effort, muscle strength, and depth of anesthesia, which may help reduce breathing problems after extubation.
This study tests a new scoring tool to help doctors decide when a patient on a breathing machine is ready to have the tube removed safely. It is for patients who are currently in the process of being weaned off the ventilator.
This study looks at patients who are ready to have their breathing tube removed and checks how to predict who might struggle after extubation. It’s observational, meaning your care won’t be changed—researchers are gathering information to improve future predictions.
This study tests whether two simple breathing measurements can predict whether patients in the ICU are ready to have their breathing tube removed. If successful, it could help doctors make safer decisions about when patients can breathe on their own.
This study tests if simple breathing tests can predict whether a patient with a traumatic brain injury will successfully breathe on their own after a breathing tube is removed. The goal is to make the removal process safer.
